The SND@LHC neutron shielding
LHC Collaboration
The design and construction of a neutron shielding for the SND@LHC detector, which utilizes a combination of plexiglass and borated polyethylene, is presented. FLUKA simulations we…
Studies of Hadronic Showers in SND@LHC
LHC Collaboration
The SND@LHC experiment was built for observing neutrinos arising from LHC pp collisions. The detector consists of two sections: a target instrumented with SciFi modules and a hadro…
The ENUBET positron tagger prototype: construction and testbeam performance
F. Acerbi, M. Bonesini, F. Bramati +50
A prototype for the instrumented decay tunnel of ENUBET was tested in 2018 at the CERN East Area facility with charged particles up to 5 GeV. This detector is a longitudinal sampli…
Decay tunnel instrumentation for the ENUBET neutrino beam
F. Acerbi, A. Berra, M. Bonesini +56
The uncertainty in the initial neutrino flux is the main limitation for a precise determination of the absolute neutrino cross section. The ERC funded ENUBET project (2016-2021) is…
Polysiloxane-based scintillators for shashlik calorimeters
F. Acerbi, A. Branca, C. Brizzolari +46
We present the first application of polysiloxane-based scintillators as active medium in a shashlik sampling calorimeter. These results were obtained from a testbeam campaign of a…
The ENUBET narrow band neutrino beam
ENUBET Collaboration, M. Tenti, F. Acerbi +54
The narrow band beam of ENUBET is the first implementation of the "monitored neutrino beam" technique proposed in 2015. ENUBET has been designed to monitor lepton production in the…
Irradiation and performance of RGB-HD Silicon Photomultipliers for calorimetric applications
F. Acerbi, G. Ballerini, A. Berra +41
Silicon Photomultipliers with cell-pitch ranging from 12 m to 20 m were tested against neutron irradiation at moderate fluences to study their performance for calorimetric ap…
A high precision neutrino beam for a new generation of short baseline experiments
F. Acerbi, G. Ballerini, S. Bolognesi +53
The current generation of short baseline neutrino experiments is approaching intrinsic source limitations in the knowledge of flux, initial neutrino energy and flavor. A dedicated…
Shashlik calorimeters: novel compact prototypes for the ENUBET experiment
M. Pari, G. Ballerini, A. Berra +50
We summarize in this paper the detector R&D performed in the framework of the ERC ENUBET Project. We discuss in particular the latest results on longitudinally segmented shashlik c…
Real-time data processing in the ALICE High Level Trigger at the LHC
ALICE Collaboration
At the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, atomic nuclei are collided at ultra-relativistic energies. Many final-state particles are produced in each collision an…
A narrow band neutrino beam with high precision flux measurements
A. Coffani, G. Ballerini, A. Berra +49
The ENUBET facility is a proposed narrow band neutrino beam where lepton production is monitored at single particle level in the instrumented decay tunnel. This facility addresses…
Testbeam performance of a shashlik calorimeter with fine-grained longitudinal segmentation
G. Ballerini, A. Berra, R. Boanta +34
An iron- plastic-scintillator shashlik calorimeter with a 4.3 longitudinal segmentation was tested in November 2016 at the CERN East Area facility with charged particles up t…
The ERC ENUBET Project: high precision neutrino flux measurements in conventional neutrino beams
Fabio Pupilli
The challenges of precision neutrino physics require measurements of absolute neutrino cross sections at the GeV scale with exquisite (1%) precision. This precision is presently li…
A compact light readout system for longitudinally segmented shashlik calorimeters
A. Berra, C. Brizzolari, S. Cecchini +17
The longitudinal segmentation of shashlik calorimeters is challenged by dead zones and non-uniformities introduced by the light collection and readout system. This limitation can b…
The EEE Project
R. Antolini, R. Baldini Ferroli, M. Caporaloni +15
The new experiment ``Extreme Energy Events'' (EEE) to detect extensive air showers through muon detection is starting in Italy. The use of particle detectors based on Multigap Resi…
